aidala has more to weigh in on this. let's take a look at the emergency calls were they will not respond. you have car theft, robbery, garage burglary, vandalism, check fraud lewd or ob scene phone calls and threatening phone calls when no immediate darrening. >> robbery. are you kidding me? robbery? god forbid a thug comes and puts a knife to you and runs away. at that point you are not in eminent danger, he's gone. think about your emotional physical state. >> and what if there's a witness called 911 they say there's a robbery cops don't show up and something does go wrong. the criminal does pull the trigger. who is at fault there? could the city be held responsible? >> early in the morning ainsley. >> it's not so black and white. >> i understand there's

budgetary concerns here. it's a lewd phone call. you are home you get a lewd phone call that's one thing. but if your house gettysburg layerized. again they are saying these are cases where the danger supposedly is gone. but think about it you come in it's the most personal intrusion, your stuff is every where. you want a professional experienced law enforcement officer that you pay taxes for to be there to take fishing prints to look at what's going on to find any clues. was it forced entry or somebody who had the keys to your house he wants to start solving the crimes. hello 911. i am just going to take a report. my how the just got burglarized you are going to take a report. >> what message does this send to the burglar as soon as>> alarm is going no big deal they are going to take a report.

let me find the jewelry cabinet. >> this opens up the officers to cover the more serious crimes. >> look, if you are talking a lewd phone call, they are correct. if you are talking about a robbery. forceable taking of your property. that means someone grabbed you around the throat and took your property. someone put a weapon at you. that's something a live human police officer should be there. if someone broke into your garage and stole your collection of baseball cards and there's an attempted sexual assault, obviously we want the police there. this remind me of new york city in the mid 80s we didn't have money we cut off the cops. that's not good. >> in a city where crime goes up shouldn't they hire more cops? >> that's what hit new york city in the late 80{caseñ]s early 90

when rudy giuliani came in. just like we did in iraq with the surge. we did a surge in new york city put more cops on the streets more visibility more cop cars. it worked. morning went from being one of the most dangerous cities to one of the safest cities in the united states of america. >> we are proud to be here. >> it is now 25 minutes after the top of the hour. coming up the donations were supposed to go to the controversial mosque near ground zero. instead the former founder pespt the money on hz lavish lifestyle. he said the co-workers were disrespecting the american flag leaving it bawled up on a boiler. why is that school custodian being fired? in 199 -- on this day president reagan was born.

we will hear more about that one. >> congress pressing the white house to answer questions about the program that can target americans without due process. this is one of the faces as the drone program prepares for the confirmation hearing to head up the cia. doug luzader has more from washington. >> u.s. drone program has been shrouded in secrecy. that may be changing with congress having answers. it could em broil the man the president would like to see as the next head of the cia. there's no question the u.s. drone program has been pretty effective taking out targets overseas, al qaeda targets including americans in some cases with virtually no risk to he is u.s. forces. but the critical question facing the white house now, is it really legal? >> we conduct those strikes because they are necessary to mitigate ongoing actual threats to stop plots, prevent future attacks and again save american lives. these strikes are legal.

they are ethical and they are wise. >> oo a department of justice memo leaked to the news says the president may not need much evidence of an eminent threat before deciding to target americans overseas. at the same time 11 u.s. senators most of them democrat have sent a letter to the white house asking for the legal rational behind all of this. we are waiting a response. tomorrow the president's nomination to cia john brennan awaits the confirmation hearing as the counter terrorism advisor he played a leading role in the drone program. >> the very idea to have the architect of the program get a major promotion and be brought up for cia director the full senate really has to ask some hard questions of mr. brennan. >> up to this point the president has been given pretty

wide latitude by a number of democrats on capitol hill who at the same time have been critical of the bush administration's defense of enhanced interrogation techniques but that may be changing. >> that's the brew on this topic. is anything okay in protecting our home land or is this over the line? you can tweet your comments to us or shoot us an e-mail@foxfriendsfirst@foxnews. com. we will read them later in the show. that is the looming sec quest tore deadline. president obama pleading to congress to delay the cuts to the president warning the entire economic recovery depends on this. spending cuts are set to kick in by march 1st ss if lawmakers do not reach a budget deal. a move that could threaten national security. so will a deal be made?

that's what charles krauthammer is talking about this morning. >> i think the republicans are going to allow the automatic cut the sec quest tore to go into effect. the president had to go on television he's scared to death about that. he doesn't want domestic cuts and as commander-in-chief he's worried about the pentagon cuts. he's on the defensive. they are saying we are not going to lift a finger until you offer us alternate cuts in the same amount. >> meaningful spending cuts to dallot the budget. >> otherwise they will go for the automatic cuts. >> that is march 1st. >> it's the only twhar going to get any cuts out of obama. it's now automatic. all you have to do is stand back and do nothing. >> it is march 1st the deadline? >> march 1st. >> monday marks the 4th consecutive year the president did not pass a budget. before you leave the house this morning you need to get the first degree weather update with

economy? diane macedo has more. >> if the ceo's latest predictions are right they set a record for 2013 for the longest period of high unemployment since the great depression. that's because the office expects the economy to grow 1.4 percent thanks in part to the expiration of the bush tax cuts and automatic spending cuts currently set to kick in in march. debt is expected to remain historically high relative to the economy. by 2023 current laws remain in place debt will equal 77 percent of gdp and be on an upward path. that means when interest rates rise to more normal levels interest on payments will rise. investors may lose confidence in the government's abilities to manage budgets. it leaves many key budget issues

unresolved including the spending cuts a potential shut down in mid march and the deadline for the u.s. to hit the debt ceiling. while the outcome could make it worse one bright spot growth is expect to do pick up from 2014 to 2018 as the effect of the housing financial criess is continues to face. >> thank you so much diane. >> it's 46 after the top of the hour. coming up, do you make your guests take off their shoes before they come into your house? are you normal or nuts doing this? >> you think cutting calories diet drinks are a good idea it turns out that is true unless you are mixing it with booze. we will explain that one straight ahead. first let's check in with steve doocy to see what's coming up on fox and friends first. >> it wouldn't be a morning without talking about food. >> sounds like you have been
